Full‑time | Metzingen | Start today

Your Mission & Challenges

• Secure the Product: Own cybersecurity engineering for embedded robotic platforms — from secure architecture definition and threat modeling (TARA, STRIDE) through implementation of security controls (secure boot, HSM/TPM integration, authenticated firmware updates) to verification and penetration testing.
• Drive Compliance by Design: Establish and execute a secure development lifecycle aligned with IEC 62443‑4‑1 and EU Cyber Resilience Act requirements. Ensure component‑level compliance per IEC 62443‑4‑2, including SBOM management, vulnerability handling, and security update processes.
• Embed in Engineering: Work hands‑on with robotics hardware, software, and systems engineering teams to derive, allocate, and validate cybersecurity requirements across embedded controllers, sensor interfaces, communication stacks, and edge compute nodes.
• Bridge to Cloud Security: Define and enforce the cybersecurity boundary between embedded/edge systems and cloud‑connected services. Align threat models, trust boundaries, and security controls with the cloud cybersecurity team to ensure end‑to‑end integrity across the full system architecture.
• Shape the Security Posture: Monitor the evolving regulatory landscape (EU Machinery Regulation, Cyber Resilience Act, UNECE R155, ISO/SAE 21434) and translate new requirements into actionable engineering guidance. Drive vulnerability disclosure, incident response readiness, and cross‑project lessons learned.

What We Can Look Forward To

• Education: MSc in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Embedded Systems, IT Security, or related field. ISA/IEC 62443 certification, OSCP, or equivalent strongly preferred.
• Track Record: 3+ years in product/embedded cybersecurity engineering with demonstrable involvement in at least one product launch through to certification or market release. Proven ability to operate at the boundary between security engineering and embedded systems development.
• Standards Mastery: Deep expertise in IEC 62443 (especially 4‑1 and 4‑2). Working familiarity with ISO/SAE 21434, UNECE R155, EU Cyber Resilience Act, and NIST CSF. Understanding of how embedded cybersecurity intersects with functional safety (IEC 61508, ISO 13849).
• Technical Depth: Hands‑on experience with secure boot chains, hardware security modules (HSM/TPM), cryptographic protocols (TLS, X.509), embedded Linux (Yocto) or RTOS environments, and firmware security. Proficient in threat modeling, penetration testing, and SBOM‑based vulnerability management.
• Collaboration & Communication: Able to work embedded within robotics engineering teams while interfacing effectively with cloud/IT security, certification, and external auditors. Strong ability to translate cybersecurity requirements into actionable engineering constraints.

What you can look forward to

• Creative Freedom and Agility: Enjoy a dynamic, self‑reliant work culture with flat hierarchies, flexible hours, and 30 vacation days. Ideal for those seeking an inspiring professional setting, whether you're starting out or an experienced exec.
• Passion for Winning: A passionate and highly skilled team of international experts aiming to redefine robot assistants.
• Attractive Compensation: Enjoy a competitive salary package along with exclusive employee discounts.
• One Team: Whether it's a summer party or company town hall meetings, we celebrate our successes together.
• Professional Growth: Support for your personal and professional development.
